Function.

Injunction junction what’s your function? 

I have never heard of the word injunction, let alone read the word. 

In a very important moment of finding deeper rest, I came across an article I was connecting with after each and every word.  I came across a word that hung me up: injunction.  It was the only word in the article brand new to me […just like red lipstick- I remember choosing my first shade of red, mostly how quickly I made that decision. I surprised myself.  I was one day in time for a 40% off brand sale, and the brand only had two shades of red to choose from. It is my only shade of red, too. I have only worn it once out, and what I love most about it is the memory made in it - a dear friend of the family caught it on my front teeth and smudged it right off for me without hesitation like she knew it was my big red moment. 2/9/22]

I searched its definition, and it just made a sense in the context.

My Godmother shared an article with me after one of our wholehearted conversations, and I came across the brand new word for the second time! #coinkeedink  

I have never read the word injunction in all of my 37 years, and here I am reading it consecutively from another source of my trust, my Godmother, in a moment I am defining a feeling of my own.   I actually missed it the first three times I read the article.  The fourth time I reread it, I felt drawn to it. #theyesofmymind

I revisited the definition of injunction with now a greater attention, and the weight of the word was sinking in with the truth I was feeling in it.  Law. 

In terms of me, the greatest function I am feeling is rest. 

Sometimes I feel a sense of readiness in a verse when I go seeking encouragement: I feel connected to it, but I am not ready to embrace it, so I carry it with a knowing there will be a time I will be ready to be ready.  Galatians 6:2-3 is the only verse I have yet to know that gave me that kind of feeling of readiness as encouragement.  

I have carried the verse with me since I introduced it to myself at 31, and getting to know it has felt like the verse has known me all of my days.  Going on 38, I am embracing every word of it with a confidence in my intuition and a pride in my strength. 

2/1/22 At 31 years old I did not know I was going to meet Galatians.  But Word was ready to introduce itself to me.  I was working on embracing only the memory I had left of PW;  walking through the aisles of Hobby Lobby helped.  The smell of hobbies is nice and the music is always good. [2/2/22 And Hobby Lobby is quiet like a library.] I walked through the card and party aisle. I love the pattern of houndstooth, and my eyes were drawn to not only a card with a schnauzer on it but houndstooth, too.  It made me smile.  I opened the card, and there the verse was to meet me.  I gave the card to myself as a simple gift to remind me everyday how it is done right.
